| 1107 | Anonymous | It is disturbing that this issue would even be put on a ballot. How did it become acceptable for a majority of the people to vote away the rights of a minority (I'm referring to the business owner, who should be allowed to establish his own smoking policy). |

| 1114 | Billy Whyde | One only has to look at the differences in advocacy and lobbying to see the American Cancer Society created with tax deductible donations the American Cancer Society Action Network . The ACS CAN as a interconnected body including personnel, property, resources and funds circumvents the IRS from taxation of donation funds given to the ACS which then funnels those donations to the ACS CAN (non tax deductible) for lobbying purposes which then exceeds the non profit status limitations set by the IRS in grass roots lobbying of the ACS . It furthermore denies the IRS of taxes duly owed to the Federal Government. |
| 1115 | sherry baker | Stop the smoking bans. Consumers and potential employees have the freedom to choose to either patronize or work at a place that allows smoking. There is no one "forcing" them into such establishments. |

| 1117 | ALICE LILLY | I AM A BARMAID I KNOW HOW MUCH THIS HAS HURT BUSINESS |
| 1118 | Tammy Fitzgerald | I agree. |
| 1119 | Timothy Draves | This smoking ban is kiling my business. I will close soon if it is not repealed. |
| 1120 | Anonymous | As a Constitutionally Limited Republic, we all have inalienable rights, not just those with the loudest voices and lobbyists.
Let freedom of choice ring. |
| 1121 | Bart Bugle | Yup, we all got inalien rights to smoke wherever we darn wel pleases. |
| 1122 | Tom S Buckingham Jr | If the Lawmakers who did the economic impact study of this law knew how much impact it would have Bar owners and sales and excise taxes, they might not have been so anxious to establish the enforcement guidelines. |

| 1126 | Sandra Beckner | I am a breast cancer survivor and former smoker. I think the ban is wrong. We should have a choice! Americans rights are being violated by taking away the freedom of choice. |
| 1127 | Brenda Chance | I have worked in Bars on and off my adult life.I have rised two sons and am rising a 12 year old Daughter working in a Bar. Being a Bartender is hard enough.You try to make sure your customers have a good time,but not to good of one,to the point where they can get home safely.I have driven people home,let them stay in my home,and paid their taxi fare..But ,I never thought I would have to babysit grow MEN and WOMEN when it came to smoking a cigarette. I amit I am not well educated.
As are alot of my fellow Bartenders.We just want to earn a living like everyone else.Please leave us alone.You have a choice to be around cigarettes or not.Some of us don't have alot of chioce what kind of work we can get. Thank You |
| 1128 | EMS | We are a small bar business in a small town. We do not serve food and our business thrives on those that drink and are allowed to smoke. If you don't want to be in this atmospher you have the right to go elsewhere. We have law makers, senators and any other public official committing adultry, theft in office, kicks backs and heaven only knows what else. Do they loose anything? I doubt it. Why is it the hard working, tax paying American looses his right to smoke in public? It's not right or fair. We have rights. Our business did over $600 last year on labor day, this year we barely did $95. Not even enough to pay the help. What a shame. We put off the non smoking as long as we could, now we are paying the price for "smoke free" The law should be placed back on the ballot and worded so that voting people understand what it is they are voting for or against. It was poorly worded. |

| 1133 | david lindenberger | to allow laws that discriminate against any minority is against the law, period. our politicians should not allow these type of laws to even get on the books. no one in office is standing up for our rights.making something illegal thats been done by the citizens of this country since day one. now its a crime. if a club or bar wants no smoking it should be their choice, not some little old lady that never steps foot in such a place. life in this country is supposed to be about free choices. they are trying to turn our country into a police state. time to say enough is enough. |

| 1135 | Bob Sewell | My business is MY BUSINESS. Bans of legal products have no place in my business. People MUST have choice. A sign stating that smoking is permitted is all that is necessary; people may then choose whether to enter or not. I had a police officer enter my unmarked (no signs saying enter or open because we are not open to the public) building without knocking. He told us of the BAN, but thought it was stupid for him to be wasting his time on things of this nature. |
| 1136 | Anonymous | The ban is an infringement of property owners.
Smoking is legal, and we do not need the government to tell us what to do on our property as if smoking was an illegal act. |
| 1137 | Anonymous | Smoking bans are result of corrupt science & media that doesn't tell you the whole truth ala JFK assassination, global warming, etc. |
